If you want to work at this in terms of making Evergreen more portable
to *BSD systems, I'd be happy to review your work. I'd suggest sending
a public ssh key to the gitadmin list as described here:

http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:git

That way you'll have working repo access. Alternately, you could do
your work on github. We're supposed to have some kind of work flow
for handling pull requests from git hub.

HtH,
Jason
